As almost every winter, I’m a bit low on new photos. As the weather here is just horrible, I will be editing and posting more photos that I took in the last years, or more articles. But you may have already noticed that :)

For today, I edited a photo I took in 2014 at the Neusidlersee in Austria.

I should start planning some trips for this year. I really need some new, and preferably daytime photos. The last year with all those crazy, cloudless sunny days was so not great for daytime photos. I just hope it will be better this year, but seeing how winter looks, I’m not really that hopeful. But maybe 2016 will be a surprise :)

This is a night shot from Vienna, taken earlier last year. This is a HDR from 6 exposures, combined in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 6, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 10s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.228242,16.411141

So not everything is just from Slovakia, here is a Christmas tree I found in Vienna one year :)

Ok, still not going to resume regular posting. I’m so tired after the crazy weekend at the Bratislava Sensual Dance festival (and also editing all the photos I took there.. still so much to go :)). But for now, I’m going to bed. Being up till 4-5am few days in a row is a bit too much for me :)

Ozaiko – iPad game

As I mentioned yesterday, November is really the time of releases. And so yesterday, my friends from guessWare released their new game Ozaiko, into the Apple app store.

First things first. I have here for you 5 codes to activate Ozaiko on your tablet, so if you would like one, just leave a comment and in a few days I will randomly choose 5 and send them the code :)

 
Ozaiko is a different kind of puzzle game, where you put together scrambled photos, but this time in circles :). And if you look closely, some of the photos may seem familiar. The reason is, that there are some of my photos used in the game (together with photos from other talented photographers).

 
And as you can also see, you can make the difficulty quite higher, by using more concentric circles and more image parts, and you can even play split-screen with another person on the same device. Here you can see a short trailer for the game:

 
For more info, please visit the Ozaiko webpage, or the game in the Apple app store here.

Over the clouds

And for the daily photo, a shot from Austria. It so crazy to stand over the clouds, and seeing as they move around around you. And it’s even crazier than you can drive to this place in the Alps with car. You have to pay for the entrance, but it really is worth it :)

This is a 5 shots panorama, combined in PTgui, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Technique: Photoshop Edit, Number of exposures: 5×1, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 70mm, Aperture: 13, Middle exposure time: 1/320s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 47.123548, 12.830700
